#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Just watching the first episode with Spike.He's certainly cool. Even though the English accent is a bit dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 He had me convinced until he started saying "can't" with an American twang, and later on pronouncing "poofter" wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Californication, 6 episodes in, a more laidback kind of show, it has some sharp writing and Duchovny has fun with Hank Moody.If you hate looking at gorgeous women, this is not the show for you. As a matter of fact, I'd call this show a bit female-unfriendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Watching Bojack Horseman. Much better than anticipated. I was expecting some kind Family Guy/Aqua Teen Hunger Force-lite parade of raunchiness and pop-culture references but it has more in common with shows like Louie. Relatively low key and character driven (compared to my previous expectations, at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 http://www.panavision.com/lenses-make-look-true-detectiveSo they're going to shoot the show in 2.35:1 and crop it down to 16:9? That seems pointless.I've seen a lot of television commercials these days shoot in anamorphic. Probably to distinguish themselves from other companies. But when everyone's doing it, it's no longer distinguished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 OK, but The Plan actually tried to answer some of the unanswered questions from the series. Can't remember what they were, but I remember having a couple of 'oh yeah' moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Razor was a fine "fill in some backstory" mini movie that didn't really add much to the on-goings, but didn't really take away anything either (Other then setting up something in the final scene that they ended up ignoring instead). So its harmless fun, with lots of good moments. The Plan plods along alright, but in the end is a disappointing waste of time because it retcons a bit of the show, making it seem like everything that happened was all Dean Stockwell's plan out of some kind of revenge or whatever. It's best to end the show with its great finale full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The Plan seem to be mainly made so the first 2 seasons could be brought in line with the latter two.Basically it tells us that the line that opens each episode of season 1 and 2 "they have a plan" was horse shit.Its revisionist storytelling of the worst kind. Did it actually have a story...or purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 I think its only purpose was to try to make more money. RDM didn't even seem to be too involved, letting it be written by Jane Esperson and directed by Olmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I know of its purpose. It was to show a guy's schlong, and a couple of gals walking around naked.

The lunatics make the show worth watching.I can't wait for this to air in Australia in about three-to-four months. Takes too long! The transgender plot took ages to get here!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Just finished season 2 of Buffy. A marked improvement over the first one in almost every aspect. Acting, storytelling, general production design, fight choreography.Having Spike helps a lot, and Angel turning into an evil bastard right after popping Buffy's cherry is inspired.The "Mom, I'm a Vampire Slayer" bit in the finale is good too. Like how it resembles the classic TV "coming out" scene, but with a twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Fargo (2014), a great companion piece to last year's True Detective! Fargo isn't as tightly constructed as TD, but it makes up for it in other ways, mainly the ones where Lorne Malvo features. It's borderline brilliant.Unlike TD, I'll be looking forward to season 2 of Fargo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'll post this here as well since not everyone reads the True Detective thread, but the final quarter or so of last night's episode was really a return to season one form for the show.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 DS9 Inquisition last night/this morning when I woke up. What a fantastic episode. I love seeing Julian under the gun, especially because Alexander Siddig is hilariously bad at emoting on this series. There's a nice jab at the ludicrous story elements of By Inferno's Light, courtesy of William Sadler, who turns in a highly memorable performance, leaving us all wondering when he'll return.Tonight, we're In The Pale Moonlight.
